Overview:

The Biden administration continues to navigate the US export controls and trade sanctions amidst the growing human rights concerns and national security issues. Recent developments that impact international transactions and require immediate attention involve goods, technology/software, and military intelligence focusing on China, Myanmar/Burma, and Russia.

  • US Export Controls and Sanctions: Recent Developments
  • Biden’s Foreign Policy: Impact on International Transactions
  • Red Flags in International Trading: What Businesses Should Know
  • Practical Tips to Mitigate Potential Risks
